In this study, the HYLON V and HYLON VII starches (commercial high-amylose corn starches) were selected, since high-amylose starches typically present difficulties in their dispersion and, therefore, the study of their fine structure can commonly present errors. The goal of this research was to study two water dispersion treatments (1. boiling water for 1 h and 2. autoclaving at 120 °C and 15 Psi for 15 min) to achieve a fast and reliable method of the fine structure of two high-amylose corn starches using high-performance size exclusion chromatography coupled with a refractive index detector (HPSEC-RID) and high-performance anion-exchange chromatography coupled a pulsed amperometric detector (HPAEC-PAD). The HPSEC-RID chromatograms of both starches showed better resolution using autoclaving than boiling water treatment. The two starches tested had higher amylose and degree of polymerization (DP) values utilizing the autoclaving than the boiling water treatment. However, no appreciable differences were observed in the CLD values employing HPAEC-PAD for either of the two water dispersion treatments. Lastly, the water dispersion treatment by autoclaving before enzymatic debranching is recommended to obtain a more accurate quantification of the amylose content of high-amylose starches.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":549,"journal":{"name":"European Food Research and Technology","volume":"250 10","pages":"2651 - 2657"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140937435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the field of image analysis and food classification, classifying dry and cooked rice samples using photographs is an interesting but difficult task. The main challenge stems from the minute visual variations between cooked and dry rice, which has not always displayed distinct traits that are easily observable by machines. Hence, various machine learning algorithms were implemented to effectively mitigate this issue. However, the existing works have not analysed the physicochemical characteristics due to non-destructive type of experimentation method with image processing. To overcome this issue, this work develops the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) of Decision Tree Learning method for classifying the rice grain samples as dry or cooked based on the physicochemical characteristics such as morphological, texture and color features, which in turn gain an exhaustive facts of rice quality in diverse state. Initially, the images are captured, pre-processed and the features are extracted. From the extracted features, the rice samples are classified as dry and cooked using DT and the results are compared with the existing algorithms like K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The comparative analysis of these classification algorithms infers the outperformance of the DT learning model under morphological, texture and color features in terms of accuracy, error, precision, recall and F-score.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":549,"journal":{"name":"European Food Research and Technology","volume":"250 10","pages":"2529 - 2544"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140887829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nano-LC−MS/MS was used to identify 219 peptides in total. Five new bitter peptides (HIGP, FHP, CFR, LYR and SFR) were screened by molecular docking.
